The United Nations expressed its concern over attacks on health facilities in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, with the Palestinian Ministry of Health in the besieged territory announcing that Israel is still detaining 26 medical workers.

UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said after the World Health Organization reported 203 attacks on health facilities in Gaza and 224 in the occupied West Bank since the “al-Aqsa flood” began on October 7. The aforementioned attacks. Health facilities should never be used.” In conflict.”

Dujarric responded to the criticism “We are subject to 360-degree criticism (from all sides) because of the words we use or don’t use,” he said, according to United Nations reports on Gaza.

Speaking about the general situation in Gaza, he explained that despite the humanitarian ceasefire, “there is still no progress in water access to northern Gaza,” adding that “water production facilities are still closed due to fuel shortages and damage caused by attacks. .”

Dujarric said his organization received data on the death toll from the Ministry of Health in Gaza and believed the reported numbers were correct. He pointed out that the United Nations welcomed and continued to call for the extension of the humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza. A ceasefire for humanitarian reasons.

The World Health Organization confirmed that since the start of the war on October 7, Israel has documented 427 attacks on health facilities in the besieged Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank.

He explained that the attacks killed 560 people in Gaza and 6 in the West Bank, and wounded 718 in Gaza and 40 in the West Bank.

Targeting medical personnel

On the other hand, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said that the Israeli occupation is still detaining 26 health workers led by the director general of Al-Shifa Medical Complex, Muhammad Abu Salamiyyah, and called on all international organizations to “take serious and immediate action”. for their liberation.”

On November 14, the Israeli army attacked the al-Shifa medical complex west of Gaza City, after besieging it for several days and clashes with nearby protesters.

On November 25, the World Health Organization announced that it had no information on the fate of the director of Al-Shifa Hospital, adding in a statement that “Abu Salamiya was arrested along with 5 health workers while participating in a United Nations-led event. Evacuation of patients.”

Yesterday, Wednesday, the Director General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, warned of a health disaster in Gaza, adding, “The current living conditions and lack of sanitation in this area could cause diseases that kill a person. Israeli bombardment of the Strip resulted in many of those killed.

The international official pointed out that about 1.3 million people are currently living in shelters in Gaza, and stressed that “there is now an urgent need for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, as this matter has become a matter of life and death for civilians.”

He explained that overcrowding, lack of food and water, lack of basic sanitation needs, poor sanitation and waste management and difficulty in accessing medicines are responsible for suffering from various diseases including acute respiratory infections, scabies and diarrhoea. Skin rashes, jaundice and other health effects and diseases.

Since October 7, Israel has increased its blockade of Gaza, cutting off electricity and water from its residents and preventing the entry of food, medicine and fuel supplies. However, the temporary humanitarian ceasefire – which began on Friday the 24th of this month and was later extended – enabled some relief, medical and fuel aid to enter this besieged sector, but several parties confirm that this aid reaches only a small part of the population. requirements.

A research team from the British University of Exeter announced that binary planetary systems are easy to create from a physical point of view and could be one of the most important targets for the search for life on other planets due to their unique nature.

To reach these results, published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, the researchers ran multiple simulations of 100 planetary systems expected to exist in our galaxy or in other galaxies. Systems with 2 to 5 primary planets.

A binary planet is a term used to describe two bodies orbiting each other, both of which have planetary masses. Both planets usually orbit a common center of mass located between the two bodies. The Solar System has a close model like Pluto and Charon, but they are considered binary dwarf planets, not binary planets.

This type of planetary system is generally believed to arise from cataclysmic collisions in ancient times, where two planets collided and broke apart, and then the fragments rejoined to form two planets, which is also a mechanism. Formation of the Earth-Moon system and the Pluto and Charon systems.

The following video from the study’s authors explains how binary planets form:

Warm worlds

According to the study, the researchers found that binary planets are more likely to form than previously thought.Also, the two planets are gravitationally bound together, causing temperatures inside each. They rise, resulting in a rise in the temperature of their surfaces, meaning that a planet may exist in a region far away from the star it orbits, but still have a moderate atmosphere due to the gravitational interaction of the planet it orbits. with.

One of the most famous examples of this situation is Jupiter’s moon Ganymede, where Jupiter’s gravity influences it to heat up. So, despite being located five times the distance from the Sun to the Earth, scientists believe there is a warm water ocean beneath its icy surface.

An example where scientists are currently interested in this range is Kepler 1708b, a Jupiter-sized planet discovered in 2011 orbiting a Sun-like star located 5,600 light-years from Earth.

In 2021, a study was published in the journal Nature, after analyzing data provided by NASA’s Kepler space observatory, that Kepler 1708b is a binary planet with another planet orbiting Neptune.

Last July, a team led by scientists from the Center for Astrobiology in Madrid, Spain, confirmed that PDS 70, an emerging star system 400 light-years from Earth, has two Jupiter-sized protoplanets in the same orbit. In the same orbit, they may come around each other at some point.

The World Health Organization has documented 427 attacks by Israel on health facilities in the Gaza Strip and West Bank since the start of the war on October 7.

The organization explained that 203 of those attacks took place in the Gaza Strip, resulting in 560 deaths in Gaza and 6 in the West Bank, and 718 injuries in Gaza and 40 in the West Bank.

The United Nations has called for the protection of health facilities and civilians in Palestine.

The Israeli occupation intensified attacks targeting hospitals in the Gaza Strip. It also blew up some of its facilities before withdrawing from it on Friday to evacuate medical staff and patients. Last, about 10 days after the storm hit.

The occupation army besieged the Indonesian hospital and bombed it last Friday, just hours before a temporary humanitarian ceasefire came into effect, days before the attack.

At the time, Muhammad Jagout, director of hospitals in the Gaza Strip, confirmed to Al Jazeera that 250 people were still inside the Indonesian hospital after the occupation army had forcibly evacuated hundreds of patients from the hospital.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced last month that all hospitals in northern Gaza were out of service due to Israeli bombardment and running out of fuel and medical supplies.

Health hazard warning

Yesterday, Wednesday, the Director General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, warned of a health disaster in Gaza, adding, “The current living conditions and lack of sanitation in this area could cause diseases that kill a person. Israeli bombardment of the Strip resulted in many of those killed.

Pointing out that about 1.3 million people in Gaza are currently living in shelters, the director of the health organization said, “There is now an urgent need for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza because this matter has become a matter of life and death. public.”

He explained that overcrowding, lack of food and water, basic sanitation needs, poor sanitation and waste management and difficulty in accessing medicines have led to tens of thousands of people suffering from various diseases including acute respiratory infections, scabies and diarrhoea. , skin rashes, jaundice and other health effects and diseases.

The Israeli occupation has imposed a blockade on Gaza since October 7, cutting off electricity and water from its residents and preventing the entry of food, medicine and fuel supplies.

However, a temporary humanitarian ceasefire that began on Friday, November 24, and has been extended twice, has allowed some relief, medical and fuel aid to enter the besieged sector, but many parties confirm that only a small portion of this aid is being received. People’s needs.
